Questions about Adam and Eve

In Islam, do you recognize sin? If so, what is the basis for the forgiveness of sin?

Thank you so much.. You’ve made me curious about the Genesis story, so I searched for it, and I found many interesting things that are quite similar to what exists in Islam (quoted below). I was reading and thought I might be getting information from Islam rather than Christianity .



That kind of people who hold beliefs based on such points 1 and 2 can be found in every religion.

I'm really sorry for anyone here who believe on No 2, but it makes me laugh and can’t stop myself from laughing.

But I have a question please.
You mentioned three points (1, 2, 3), who believes on the No 3 ? Protestants, Catholics, or both?

Everyone has sins. No one is perfect. Only God is perfect .

In Islam, I think when a person sins, he/she simply repent and engage in supplication, asking for forgiveness regardless of how great the sin.

It is important to stop the sin immediately. If the sin is against God, it should be abandoned. If it is against another person, then be absolved from the sinner by either returning what was taken to him/her, or asking him/her for forgiveness.

For repentance to be accepted by God, certain conditions must be met:
- The person must genuinely feel remorse for their sin.
- Abandoning the Sin.
- A firm intention not to commit the sin again in the future.

This is a major difference between Christianity and other religions. In Christianity, the basis for the forgiveness of sin is not contrition, but the reality that that sins are paid for. While the things you mention do attend a time of confession for a Christian, they are not the cause of forgiveness.

If you commit a sins, what do you do? Do you do nothing? just because the sins are forgiven / paid for?
What if you commit sins again? Do you do nothing?


What does "a time of confession for a Christian" mean?
I searched for its meaning and found the following : The "confession time" for a Christian typically refers to a period when individuals acknowledge their sins and seek forgiveness from God.
Is that the correct meaning? Please explain if it is not.

A Christian should daily confess his or her sins before the Lord, at a minimum. This is taught in the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6. Keeping short accounts with God tends to keep one both humble and dependent. But the reason God forgives sin is because it was paid for on the cross.
In Islam, why do individuals believe God forgives sin?

Lord means God, right?
If so, that means it’s similar to what I already mentioned (to repent and supplicate to God for forgiveness).

Well my dear, you’ve raised a question in my mind about sins. Are sins in Christianity considered the same regardless of their nature? For example, are talking badly about someone, stealing, killing, or committing rape all viewed the same way? and what you need is just confess daily?


Another question has arisen, if sins are paid for and forgiven, and I believe in Christ, what happens if I don’t confess? Is confession mandatory?


God says so in the Qur'an. He forgives sins when one adheres to what I have already mentioned.

What I was trying to understand about Islam was whether sins were forgiven because they are paid for or because someone follows a set of prescribed rules. I also asked you about the object of faith earlier. The reason for doing this was to help you understand that the Christian faith is predicted upon the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is in Him and what He has done on our behalf to reconcile us to God.
So far as I can tell about Islam is that you trust what you have done to reconcile yourself to God.

I reject anything that is contrary to the truth of God's word. I know Catholics who are fine Christians who reject the present Pope's heresy. I know Protestants who have embraced the woke progressive agenda and I reject that too. Jesus described the road to Life as narrow and that few find it. I am one of the few. That's not a boast, Lord Jesus put me on that narrow road and it His grace that keeps me there.

Jesus also said that the road to destruction is wide. I have no desire to join the multitudes on that road.

I respect the choice of individuals just as much as God does. However, I am also required by God to exhort the lost to turn from their wicked ways and accept Lord Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Choices have consequences.

I do not badger people. If they tell me to leave them alone, I will.

I was one who searched for knowledge. I was reading the encyclopaedia while my peers were reading comics. I'm not especially intelligent, just very curious. However, Once I found the Truth, Jesus, many of my questions were answered. I still like to learn new things, but does not drive me as it once did. I suggest that you keep it simple. It makes life so much easier.

Yes! It would be funny, if it wasn't so sad. Jesus described people as sheep, because that is how we behave. I sadly have some contempt for sheep as very stupid animals, but that is how we as people can be. Sometimes happily believing contradictory beliefs.

I think both groups have all three types of people. With Catholics, the emphasis is often on faith (in Christ) plus works. They won't necessarily describe their faith as this, but this is often what it will amount to. (Some Protestant denominations also, but part of the reason for the Protestant reformation was to do away with Catholic traditions that weren't found in the bible).

The question with adding works to salvation is how much works is enough? However, God makes it clear in His word, and says that the best of our righteous deeds are as filthy rags to Him. Trusting in good works for salvation would be like a murderer asking a trial judge for leniency as between crime sprees, the murderer helped an old lady cross the street. A just judge can't acquit someone of a crime simply because of a good work (or even many good works).

This is true, but justice demands that the sin still be paid for. Otherwise, a merciful God (in forgiving sin) will actually be condoning it, and become unjust. The role of Jesus Christ is that He, being born as a man, willingly took the judgement for our sin upon Himself, despite being guilty of no sin of His own.

When one believes on Christ Jesus, that one becomes aware of his sin, and God's just punishment for sin (an eternity in Hell). He confesses his sin before God, and acknowledges that God, in his mercy and loving-kindness, was born as the God-man Christ Jesus and died on the cross, as the just payment for such sin. The one believing on Christ asks God's intervention in His life (repentance), to change his heart so as not to be enticed by further sin. Although Christians still do sin after believing on Christ Jesus, God's sacrifice for sin covers all past, present and future sins, for those who truly have believed on Christ. God's Holy Spirit works in the hearts of those who believe on Christ Jesus, so that when they do sin, they become aware of it, repent of it, and try to resist it in future (sanctification).

For me, I see No. 3 as the group that is closest to the true and right way.

But what do you think? Is the majority in favor of No. 3 ? or do Numbers 1 and 2 have more followers?
I mean that do you believe that the group (whether Protestant or Catholic) that believes in No. 3 is larger than the groups that adhere to No. 1 and 2? what is your expectation please?


From your above answer, I can understand and say that sins in Christianity are considered the same, regardless of their nature. For example, talking badly about someone, stealing, killing, or committing rape all viewed/seen the same way and regarded as equal. Is that Right?
